Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Islamuddin, affirming the reliance on dying declarations as sufficient evidence despite the absence of direct witnesses. The Court clarified that dying declarations, if recorded in a proper manner and corroborated by surrounding circumstances, can be deemed reliable. The appeals against the conviction were dismissed, and the life sentences were maintained.
